Turing's Nightmares is a series of scenarios that explore possible implications of artificial intelligence technologies. It is a work of speculative fiction meant to encourage individuals and communities to consider the many social, political, economic and ethical issues possible from the widespread deployment of artificial intelligence. Many of these scenarios revolve around the idea called "The Singularity." The Singularity refers to a hypothetical time in the not so distant future when an AI system is created which is both much smarter than people and able to build a still more intelligent system. By considering possible scenarios, we can examine how we feel about the potential relationships among people and between people and their technology in time to prepare, prevent or utilize the impacts.
